Tahoe is a "from the ground-up" rewrite, inspired by Allmydata's existing
consumer backup service. It is primarily written in Python.
It uses the Foolscap library [10] which provides a remote object protocol
inspired by the capability-secure "E" programming language [11]. Foolscap
allows us to express the intended behavior of the distributed grid directly
in object-oriented terms while relying on a well-engineered, secure transport
layer.

The underlying networking is provided by the Twisted library [12].
Computationally intensive operations are performed in native compiled code,
